The Sporting Life, which is the au-
thority in baseball circles, makes very
favorable comments of the Vermont base
ball players 1t says of the Northern
league: "This league, although not n
financial success, turned out some very
fine players, among whom may be men
toned Sprague of Chicago and Pagan of
the Nets. Pre-emlnent among the clubs
stood the Rutland club. Among its play
ers, Carrigan, the right fielder, and Har-
mon, manager, captain and left fl I'D, are
the prominent ones. Carrigan is a sure
fielder, a fine batsman, and, above all, n
perfect gentleman. In stealing bases he
is away up. He is winteriDg in Boston,
Harmon, by his level head, fine batting
and base running, pulled many a game
out of the fire. He is winterlng in keene,
n. II. NadeboncGur, the catcher, is a
great ball player, while he cannot be eX-
celled in cutting off the base stealers, he
is a good batter aud daring base runner.
He winters in Lawrence, Mass. Peren,
who pitched for the Rutlands some time,
has all the curves and plenty of speed.
Madigan, the third baseman, did the
work of the phenomenal order all through
the season. Second baseman Hanrahan
was acknowledged by a great many to be
the best baseman in the league. Centre
fielder Daily is a sharp, clean hitter and
a sure catch. His base-running is one of
his strong points also

M'NEALLY LEAVES HALIFAX.
Detective Powers Claims the Reward but
the Bank Refuses to Pay it.

SACo, Me-, Dec 26.-The claim of De
1ec0ve Powers of Halifax.for the reward
offered by the Saco and Biddeford Savings
institution published in today's papers
mad the effect to bring the bank officials
together for a lengthy consultation. They
say that the reward was offered for the
arrest and conviction of McNeally and
tile return of the stolen securities. The
arrest was made, but in a country from
which the prisoner could not be extradit-
81, e.nd the detective had been unable to
ret his hand on the stolen bonds or even
learn where they were. Therefore they
slai,n Detective Powers has no right to
he reward. Treasurer Kellys letter
which he gave Harry Medically on the
which was seized by Lawyer Smith in
Halifax, was written by Treas
arer Kelley a few minutes before
train time Friday night and was not au-
Jhorized by the bank authorities. 1t was
intended, says Treasurer Kelly, for Harry
20 use merely as means of Identification
Il Halifax with no idea that it would
leave his hands This afternoon the
trustees of the institution held a meeting
1t the bank and passed vote repudiating
Treasurer Kelly's letter and declaring it
unauthorized by the bank authorities.
AS to what will be done to the young
defaalter if he returns to Saco is
matter which lies wholly with
County Attorney Burbank. That
gentleman. when interviewed to night,
said; 81 have held no consultation with
4uybody relative to Frank G. McNeally's
cetUrn. The indictment for larceny was
FOUND against him by the grand jury in
the September term of court, and it is not
now within the jurisdiction of the bank or
any private individual to stop the. prose
sutiou of the defaulter. A capias writ
Sas ordered by the court after the grand
jury reported the Indictment, and If the
county attorney does his duty the prisoner
will be arrested and tried. Nobody has
right TO state that the local authorities
NIL not prosecute the case" But" said
she reporter, "if the bank officers do not
see lit to appear against the prisoner at
The trial, what will become of the case ?"
The county can summon any witness it
pfease-, and compel them to appear in
court and give testimony" was Attorney
Burbank's reply. Harry Medically is not
expected home before the last of this
week.

Nn~day-The Company Trying to Sc

READING. Pa, Dec. 25.-Over $500 load
81 coal cars, made up into SO trains, pass
cd through Reading from the Schuylklll
coal region for Port Richmond and other
points south of this city last Sunday. To
lag not a single car was moved, and the
coal trade is practically dead. During the
forenoon over 100 railroaders whose trains
are on sidings north and south of the city
passed through Reading bound home.
The orders to strike were received early
abls morning, and as far rs the railroad
crews concerned was promptly obeyed.
General Manager Mcleod Immediately
5elegraphed that every engine attached to
trains lying on sidings be housed and
guarded This was promptly done, the
c aGsyi5ies being run to Reading. Pottstown
and other points. The company employs
1t its shops in this city about 1000 men.
They will not go out as they claim they
are not included in the order of the
knights to strike, but the leaders in the
city expect such an order soon, however,
so as to effectually cripple the company. A
meeting of the railroaders' assembly was
held to-day, but no definite action was
taken. The prevailing statement was In
eavor of standing, by the strikers; The
agents of the Reading company to-day ac-

A Vermont Centenarian.

James Works of Waterford, Vt, will
become 100 years old on Friday next, De
cember 3d. 1887 if he should live until
then, and there is every indication that he
will.
Mr.. Works was born in Westmoreland,
n. H., and moved to Barton, Vt, in 1908,
where he engaged in trade, which he con-
tinued successfully for eight years. In
1916 he moved to Waterford, locating near
ST. Johnsbury, where he has since lived.
Here he engaged in agricultural pursuits,
from which he has laid aside a com
potency.
He was very active man, and soon
took leading position IN town affairs,
representing his town for two terms in
the legislature, and holding various town
thoroughly and hOnorably discharged.
When he was SO years old he served a-
town grand juror, which was his last Off
cial service In 1922 he married Almira
Aldrich and to them were born five child
rem, four of whom are living. Mrs
| Works died about Is years ago. Mr.
Works retains his faculties TO remarka-
BILE degree, being able to read without the
aid of glasses, and, although not able tC
| go out much, gives directions about bust
| ness affairs with a clearness not always
shown by many younger men. He waits
on himself and any disposition on the
part of others to wait upon him is quietly
resented. Until about two years ago he
drove his own team and attended to bust
ness matters in his usual correct way.
| Owing to rheumatic troubles he Is now
much confined to the house. Mr.. Work,
commands the respect Of all his acquaint
ances, and while willing to accept the con
CALCULATIONS of many of his friends on the
approach of the Tooth anniversary OF hi:
birth, he does not consider himself an ole
man vet.
